I purchased this lock for my CVA hawkins. The original lock started having a weak hammer throw a few years ago. I delt with this for a while but the snap and no bang finally got the better of me. CVA no longer carries the lock or parts for their side locks, so I bought this replacement and with a little trimming of the stock in the lock area my rifle goes bang again. Now my gun goes out with me again and doesnt hang on the wall. Thanks
